Possibly effective:
I don't have experience with Prid, and it is not commonly used in US compared to other countries like UK. Anecdotal reviews support it's effectiveness for acne and other skin conditions and the ingredients appear to be safe and available without Rx.

Perhaps:
This is a remedy that has never been tested by the FDA for safety or effectiveness. Its directions do not cover use on mucus membranes such as the vagina. It is manufactured by a homeopathic company, so the chances are that the amount of active ingredients in the salve are negligible and you will not harm yourself. However, there is no data to prove this one way or the other.

It might help:
Promotions for "drawing salve" say it works for both wood & glass splinters. I have not used. The usual approach is to identify where the glass went in, & use a sterile needle to trace the path and retrieve it with good tweezers. This can be challenging. As long as it doesn't look infected (red/hot/swollen/more painful) you can watch it. It will probably work its way out on its own. Good luck!

Splinters:
Splinters of wood do not dissolve in the hands or the feet; splinters tend to wall themselves and can form small abscesses. Try to soak the hand in warm water with salt and a tablespoon of hydrogen peroxide. See if it loosens it up. Disinfect a tweezer and try to remove it. If it is too deep, you may have to see a dermatologist or your primary to remove it. The body can't dissolve this.

Compresses:
Try warm compresses about 5 minutes 3 or 4 times a day before going to have it lanced. It will become obvious if it is working. If it needs to be lanced an emergency room is a way expensive place to have it done. Try to find a private doctor or clinic you can afford because this is a really simple procedure. Of course sometimes we have no choice but to use an ER.

This could be due to bleeding in his gastrointestinal tract, infection, or other problem. I would have him seen by your primary care physician or local emergency room as soon as possible.

Yes.:
But remember...the terms "normal level" and "normal rangel" are misleading. The truly normal level is zero. Everything over zero is abnormal. I use the term "commonly useful range" because so it doesn't foster thinking that we treat the drug level...We treat the person! And no drug level makes any sense without asking 1) are you having seizures? 2) are you having side effects?

There are none...:
Even the strongest opiates only "take the edge off" for people in chronic pain. Meds are only one part of dealing with the pain. A useful tool, but pain is so necessary for survival that we are not "allowed" to monkey with it much. In acute pain, the transition from miserable to less miserable can be great. In chronic pain, it's just part of the plan.

So call your doc:
This is the HT public information site.We are thousands of volunteer docs based primarily in the US who answer medical questions.We do not offer treatments. State medical boards require a physician/patient relationship,a retrievable record,recent exam with vital signs for prescribing.Failure to do so can lead to loss or restriction of license. It may seem minor to you but it is not.

Sometimes:
Sometimes they are. For the most part, expired drugs simply lose potency once past their expiration date. There are, however, some drugs that actually become harmful if taken after they expire. As such, it is best to throw out any medications you have after a year.
